tonight protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in yemen as the wave of fury spreads across the muslim world in response to u.s. made film which mocks islam. plus live pictures here stone sent six changes you can see right now between protesters and police in cairo that's another anti u.s. demonstration descends into scenes of violence in germany at least seventy people. and president putin strongly condemns all attacks on u.s. diplomats but says governments must be extremely cautious because people's religious feelings warning of dire consequences otherwise.

hello eight pm thursday evening here in moscow you're most welcome if you just joined us this is r.t. and i'm kevin owen and to start this hour news that protesters have attacked the u.s. embassy in the capital of yemen clashing with police have opened fire to disperse the mob two people reportedly killed and several wounded in those clashes it's the latest u.s. diplomatic mission then to come under attack in response to that american film poking fun at islam. from off reports. turmoil in the arab world spread to yemen on thursday after hundreds possibly even thousands of protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in the capital there just two days after the american ambassador to libya was killed and protesters tried to take the embassy and cairo now when it comes to to yemen witnesses on the ground reported live ammunition being shot by security forces into the air one reporter i spoke to actually said that there was an injury

someone was injured in the head by one of those rounds from the air security forces also used tear gas and water cannons according to eyewitness reports we also heard that protesters were able to breach one of the outer perimeter of the american embassy there setting fires to vehicles. setting fire to one building and also tearing down according to eyewitness reports a u.s. flag and replacing it with another flag there while it does seem that the situation has been more or less in control so far it really is an unstable sort of environment and we do know that aside from this this controversial video which really sparked the protests drone strikes in that country have really pitted the people versus u.s. foreign policy interests in yemen besides yemen we've seen protests. in in the gaza where protesters burned an american flag more or less peaceful protests in iran as well as protests in the wrong on the topic of iraq we also had the leader of one of the leaders of an iraqi militia there saying that american interests in that

country are. in danger or as on the count of the film we've also seen a very popular in. posters twitter accounts of call for protesters to gather on thursday evening outside of the american embassy there so it remains to be seen how that situation will play out and of course the one to really watch is going to be afghanistan and we know that you tube has tried to block access to that video in afghanistan as well as in libya and egypt but if people really do catch on to this we could see some unprecedented levels of. islands this is according to some of the people some of the reporters that i've spoken to on the ground in kabul libyan situation is a little bit different from the other countries where we've seen where of course the libyan protesters or the libyan people who are against the government of moammar gadhafi had really welcome to us intervention called western intervention to help them overthrow the former leader and they are but this iteration in libya is really escalating in the sense that the u.s. president has promised to send a team of marines to the ground the security situation there we've also heard that

u.s. war destroyers are unable we're just going to be sent to that area supposedly to help with potential humanitarian assistance and evacuations of the of course remains to be seen how that will work out and also reports of unmanned surveillance drones potentially being deployed according to president obama in libya to help them supposedly hunt down the people responsible for these attacks although it's really quite unclear how that's going to play out. well you can see the latest uproar from across the muslim world following our correspondent on twitter it's a fast moving story no way to talk to us in detroit the united states we're very pleased to say. he's editor of the pan-african news while good evening to you thanks for being on you know if we look at the scale of all this is risen to so quickly. and so can we still read the attacks on the u.s. diplomatic missions as spontaneous emotional protests will not do you think.

it's really not clear at this point there were definitely outraged individuals throughout the entire region who have been extremely angry about the posting of this video but at the same time the severity of the attack and the lethal character of this attack indicates that it may have been planned even prior to this demonstration that took place outside of the u.s. consulate in benghazi there are numerous forces even in the eastern part of libya who are very much concerned about the role of the united states in libya and we also have to look at it from the standpoint of the regional disagreements between the western part of the country where the capital tripoli is located and the eastern part of the country of benghazi where the revolt against moammar gadhafi started last year at the same time the government that is based in tripoli the

general national congress indicated yesterday that they believe that the lawless to the move market daffy government who were overthrown last year may have been behind this attack against the u.s. consulate killing ambassador stevens as well as three other diplomatic personnel but it is a very serious escalation of tensions in libya but also throughout the entire region of north africa and indeed throughout the middle east in the entire muslim world take a look at what's happened in yemen today al qaeda extremists of course it got a very strong position in yemen can we attribute that to the intensity of the anti american riots there you think. of course in yemen there have been numerous drone attacks over the last several weeks where leaders. and other organizations have been killed as a result of operations by the pentagon and the central intelligence agency we understand now that marines are going to be sent into libya at least fifty

according to what president obama said yesterday and also the dispatching of warships in the mediterranean off the coast of libya as well as further utilization of the predator and reaper drones this of course will escalate tensions even more because first of all we have to understand that any uniformed u.s. military personnel in libya would automatically be considered a target for anyone who is hostile to u.s. presence as well as u.s. interests so it could be a spiraling situation where you if these marines are attacked that it would require on the self-hate on the part of the president to send in even more u.s. military personnel and of course we could wind up with a large contingent of u.s. military forces on the ground in libya and this of course in our opinion would be disastrous for the administration and of course egypt to president morsi because the letter on his hands is vital for him to maintain friendly ties of washington

yet at the same time the muslim brotherhood which actually pulled into one small protest is a deadlock tonight. i think of president morsi as in a very difficult situation he has been making overtures to the united states. trying to put his government's policy in line with u.s. foreign policy we've seen a negotiation with the international monetary fund with the united states government with the monarchy in qatar to try to rehabilitate or restructure the egyptian economy which is in deep debt and deep crisis but at the same time he has his own political base to be concerned about as well and people could very easily turn against him if he is perceived as being too friendly to the united states and at the same time not defending islam or these attacks that are being made on islam this particular video production company. really just it's just over just thirty

seconds for you that's why i want to talk about hillary clinton's call this film disgusting why u.s. diplomats paying such a high price for the volatility of one individual a couple of individuals that made this film really briefly. i think is the perception that people have that the u.s. officials are hostile to islam they have disrespect for the religion and its values and i think the perception in many cases means much more than the actual reality on the ground is a kiwi editor of pan-african used by things have so much appreciated. now meanwhile in car of the now where the first protests in a series of anti american riots flared up demonstrations have evolved into heavy clashes with police authorities been trying to drive protesters away from the u.s. embassy with batons and tear gas but they met fierce resistance some seventy people have been confirmed injured so far but all true the local journalist at the scene reporting from the egyptian capital for you. people are extremely angry that the

demographic of the group seems to have changed slightly from cheese day which was a very sort of conservative islamist group and they seem to be younger possibly football fans the football fans but it's not yet confirmed the police have cordoned off the whole area the whole street near the u.s. embassy sections towards to here and it basically just trying to secure the area and i'm attacking protesters would like to take out to me i mean i don't think this protest is any has any signs of actually stopping we know we've got a different protest organized on friday actually called for by the muslim brotherhood against this particular film which seems to have inflamed people in the middle east and at the moment i can't really see any signs of stopping because now people are upset with the way the police have dealt with the matter because of the levels of violence there has been a fair amount of criticism of morsi recently because he actually didn't make any official statements about the deaths of the u.s. ambassador in libya yesterday and was very slow on the uptake in regards to that and people are asking him really to come home and maybe sort out the situation here

as the violence escalates and so far he really hasn't done much other than asking people for to peacefully protest and continuing along with his his jobs and the u.s. government had no took no part in the making of this film this obscure film which people take days to work out where it's really coming from i'm not even sure that an apology from the u.s. government might people are asking for would really stop the protest right now because it seems to escalate into a police versus protest fight some people if they're angry with the way the peace is still using the same tactics when the minute you were in power as they are now with the supposedly civilian government really i'm not really sure how this is going to come down particularly with continued protests in yemen as well as across the middle east towards this film. bill true reporting for us the president putin strongly condemned the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya who said governments must speak stream legal issues when dealing with religious sensitivity warning of the dire consequences that can follow otherwise and as a really good report. this deadly reaction towards the u.s.

long before. not a case of i told you so but rather a growing worry that russian diplomats greatest fears are becoming a grim reality where simmering disturbances have now flared up into full blown attacks on u.s. facilities in egypt and libya countries where recent revolutions in the name of democracy won washington's unwavering support some in moscow believe this ali mohsen he is a direct result of u.s. foreign policy in the region which stretches back to the war in afghanistan was that sick you know when someone aspires to attain an end they see as optimal any means will do as a rule we do it by hook or by crook and hardly ever think of the consequences that was the case during the war in afghanistan when the soviet union invaded in one nine hundred seventy nine so at that time our present partners supported a rebel movement there and basically gave rise to al-qaeda which later backfired on

the united states itself today someone could use militants from al qaeda or some other organizations with equally radical views to accomplish their goals in syria just as the u.s. came to the aid of the mujahideen in afghanistan so too they rushed to help opposition fighters in libya despite evidence of terror groups playing a vital role in the uprising the same tactic also as we're seeing now was he was to libya by record for me. where the war was cut buffett are saying. they got on president support financial support i mean arms sales and so on and finally be about therapy and it was our through the russia and the u.s. have always been partners in the fight against terrorism a sense of duplicity when it comes to condemning some and supporting others has been a source of disappointment from moscow. so far the u.n.

has strongly condemned any terror attacks then our colleagues failed to condemn the recent terror. attack on syrian security forces in damascus saying that it wasn't really a terror attack as it targeted those who fought against the rebels that explanation frankly shocked me russia has repeatedly warned about an overly enthusiastic approach to toppling dictators there is always a danger that what follows will be even further destruction chaos and bloodshed yet those concerns have fallen largely on deaf ears in the west and not all countries like the united states may face even tougher times ahead while trying to untangle the political knots they've both been in the region it even goes corteen moscow just let you know dotty dot com we're very closely monitoring these violent events that are kicking off right now sparked an arab world by this anti islamic american film you'll find updates on the demonstrations and international reaction to this violence along with the latest videos from where the protests going at the moment.

take a look at some other top news stories tonight there's outrage in a state in the stonier over a mock advertisement showing i'm a stated prisoners at a concentration camp the magazine that published it says the ad was just a joke but as alexia's eschewed reports the country has a record of elevating its nazi past. a prank which went terribly wrong in a story a newspaper asked to express posted a picture of prisoners of a nazi death camp book involved with a text one two three dr mengele spills will do wonders for you there were no fat men in book involve this reference to a man who was responsible for more than forty thousand deaths in nine hundred forty s. nazi death camps certainly has caused uproar both in the stone here and abroad with the local jewish community and simon wiesenthal center both accusing the newspaper

off of making a joke out of a huge tragedy and the massive loss of human lives the newspaper itself tried to justify this picture by saying that this was simply a joke in response to an earlier incident when a gas heating company in a stoney a posted a picture off at the entrance to another nazi death camp auschwitz with an advertisement of the heating system saying that their heating systems were reliable and very efficient many experts and political analysts have been very critical of the fact that such things happen in a more than democratic state a member of the european union and this prank by the newspaper and the advertisement by the gas company forced the country's foreign minister to bring his apologies for those incidents he said that he felt very ashamed to be stony and if his country's newspapers allow themselves such jokes with the use of the human

tragedy still many have been questioning how sincere those apologies were because a stone has a record of dealing with the events of the past particularly with nazis and in its own way several of the veterans who were fighting alongside the not situated in the 1940's in the so-called baltic legion were made national heroes in the stony after the collapse of the soviet union so this latest. and certainly adds more fuel to the fire in this ongoing story of how the post soviet baltic states have been dealing with naziism and have been dealing with the perception of the past this incident this latest incident also caused indignation from the russian foreign ministry which said that this again shows how some power in the story and some of the ordinary population are dealing with things which were which are considered to be tragic and which are considered to be inhumane by the most of the world by most

of the morning. look at r.t. dot com again our web site used around the world of course and beyond tonight ready to roll to the red planet will the curiosity rover is now being revved up to the next stage of its hunt for traces of life on mars is going on a long old trip up the hill tell you more about that online plus being brought back down to earth to do with us and how some unlucky photographers are being labeled potential terrorists just for trying to do their jobs interesting story to. voters in the netherlands of elected to continue on a pro european path broadly sticking to a german led way out of the financial crisis the conservatives claim victory there but they have to form a coalition with labor which holds similar economic views however spite rejecting parties calling for an exit from the eurozone a rethink of similarity measures looks inevitable as test recently reports next for . the european crisis has affected the campaign period it really brought out a lot of voter sentiments that were unexpected when it comes to the dutch dutch

people who are generally very pro european though we've seen in the past weeks before the final week of campaigning that socialists had made a huge jump at some point even leading the front of the liberals and of the labor party however having said that a lot of observers do the fact that the dutch again are very practical people and have traditionally been centrist voters and they did vote that center left and center right parties the labor and the liberal party of the ruling the prime minister margaret are having said that though the fact that the campaign has brought out a lot of voter sentiment that didn't exist before having centrist government right now does not mean that those questions on whether they should keep helping the greeks for example or whether we should continue the way it has been in a draconian fashion following the german lead the plan for europe those questions will not just go away given even if they still have a centrist government right now so i think what will happen here is the most logical is that the labor and liberal which is

a top two and biggest parties here will my former coalition in this sense it's only a practical however the question is there are differences in their approach to europe should they give more money to greece or should they follow the three percent of cuts drastic draconian fashion these are points that will definitely have disagreements and stability there is questionable and therefore the dutch may find it a coalition government formed quite quickly but whether it will last longer than the previous government well that is still an open question. more news from around the world in brief now the un's new envoy to syria is now in damascus he'll meet president assad on his first peace mission to the country like doug rahimi hopes to make some inroads in ending the conflict but it's a task he's already conceded as being almost impossible violence is drawing in syria's largest city aleppo too with the latest battle erupting near the city's international airport which is still held by pro assad forces. gunmen in southern pakistan a shot dead seven road construction workers who are employed by the government

known she had admitted that the killings pakistan's southern province is plagued by militants and separatists with regular anti government attacks in a bid for autonomy and a larger share of national resources. israel's problem this is vowing to keep pushing for the u.s. to get tougher on iran and its nuclear program benjamin netanyahu wants america to set up defining boundaries for a possible strike on taran but washington's refusing saying more time is needed for diplomacy and sanctions to work there's an ongoing global impasse over iran's atomic program despite repeated denials that it's building a bomb now later this hour political scientists now said the in jersey explains why an israeli strike would only spur iran's radical elements. it is very. odd doing that basically for putting pressure on international community and particularly in america in a presidential election they want to get more they want to make america. great

glory which is no enrichment or desire to enrich one on iraq but in case they decide to attack to me they will not achieve their objectives they're not the they don't have the capability to attack you or. what missiles or macleans you places which diet do with north korean see iran not to pursue its nuclear program tell you the radicals of iran radicals in terms of. nuclear program those who are all going for the weapons sure these oil is basically to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals ones that are. much more smart jones one of the longer term and it's time right now there is business with katie katie big question today will the federal reserve take steps to boost the economy and yet that is the question that everyone is asking each other really because no one knows the answer but they will know kevin in about twenty

minutes time because the federal reserve will release their details as to whether or not they're going to force some stimulus to the slowing economy a right now we can see how investors are reacting to that anticipation we've got the markets gaining i would say mildly just now both for the dow jones and the nasdaq around two tenths of a percent so will they initiate a new round of bond buying to spur the economy and in other words that just means pumping more cash out there into the biggest economy so the have the european markets are responding because they're the end of their trading day and we did witness a mild rally in london actually a trade as well. up stocks in the hope that q.e. three will be injected but as you can see on the continent in germany caution rules the day we're going to down around the heart of the sands just now so that's

the situation in europe also want to mention spain as well the situation there because the spanish leaders they're all saying that there's now no see to seek a bailout from europe and that says the boring costs about sheep gone down now the announcement follows europe's president is moved to buy debt of troubled nations to boost growth now financial expert patti gallo author of the gathering storm believes it's not the solution and it only masks the real economic problems. what we're doing at the moment is essentially we've got someone who runs a pizza store and they realize that their pictures are actually not very good and nobody wants to eat it so therefore what they're going to do is they're going to buy all of their pizza and pay for the french to all sit in the restaurant and therefore they'll create the idea that there's a wonderfully good restaurant and round but everybody will know that it's rotten runs a pizza hut and actually the owners buying it back from it so this whole concept of trying to throw money at a structural problem when everybody is in denial about what it is can only end with

a really really ugly scenario ok we'll have a look just that it's looking a little bit pretty out that peaks are you can see one twenty nine eleven for the trade as a favorite pair just now also the year is actually gaining i do want to mention the germans top constitutional court rejected efforts to block a permanent euro area rescue fund a base to wait that's very important because had they gone the other way we may have had a very difficult situation on our house so vessels were related about one and i was a sabbath if the minutes to go now to the u.s. to release their decision as you can see the roof was actually finished up for the day and i managed to get the exit artists as well they pretty much made some. i'd words you're looking at a flap out we haven't seen much action here in moscow and that's because investors here are standing still awaiting what's going to happen internationally and interesting lay over prices are now gaining in that didn't have much of an impact i

want to mention that domestically process central bank has increases key we find out its rate by a quarter of a percentage point to eight point twenty five percent now that decision is due to rising inflation that has already reached six point three percent and that is above the regulators target for the whole of the year ok so that's russia but next hour kevin i will have the art star is going to be more pumped into the system. to see a robot surely things coating on the way inside from within iran as it's clear to me israel pushes america into getting tough with a row with rather you're watching are two from moscow and it's good to have your company tonight.

what's yours. it is. a series of props used to listen with. this evening with activity don't forget the facts which. come it's going to give a special welcome to all the ladies and agents from the n.s.a. a few of my five listening in because today is all about statements in which

spreading from the streets in swat most teams as we speak. city written in to implement ways of controlling the expanse of distance news to keep us safe we told them who. knows you could trust the government now if you got the dot i too got nothing to worry about.

dates. believe me. just a little longer to execution date isn't enough for anybody to go through your life if. you know more than fifty percent of the people who are if you. are not. you know living through a snag. we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well it's become so poor we. are ever to hope. i will get a letter your dad is due to be executed next week then as it is scary moment for you to know you can loose here one of the appearance of the in a manner of minutes. just so.
